How to Lose Weight at 7-Eleven

Your pit stop just got a whole lot healthier thanks to these surprising tips from a leading dietitian

Rule No. 6: Choose Baked Kettle Chips instead of Pringles "Kettle chips are your better option because they are made from actual potatoes," says Koff. Most other potato chips, like Pringles and Cheetos, aren't made from whole potatoes and have a laundry list of added ingredients and flavoring. "You want to see potatoes, salt, and oil -- and that's it -- in your chips," says Koff.

I was intrigued by the title of this column, Lose weight at 7-11?!? How could it be? Well, I didn't find anything in this article that was specific to any convenience store diets. I mean... really if you're going to be eating healthy in the first place, 7-11 isn't the place to go for your food. I can understand an occasional grab-on-the-go snack, but most of the items in this article are thing that I would purchase as I grocery shop. Obviously, the tips are valid and can help shave some calories when making your food choice. But who is going to buy an apple or strawberries at a 7-11? Not me! Thanks for the alternative selections though I didn't realize that greek yogart was so much higher in protein - I've just hear that it doesn't taste good so I've been afraid to try it. Maybe now I will.
